With a faster cache and 14MHz CPU, you may be able to go above 10MHz
by plugging in a 48MHz oscillator (for 12MHz Zip), or 64MHz oscillator
(for 14MHz).
Note: Even if you need a new cache and CPU in addition to a new
oscillator, you can still upgrade a 7/32 to a 10/64 and beyond
for around $40. If you are satisfied with 10MHz and are lucky
and don't need the new cache and CPU, then you'd get a 10/32
upgrade for the price of a $1.39 oscillator!

Good luck.
(Note: The speed of these SRAMs will be sufficient to around 10MHz.
The advantage of these particular chips are that they are
available cheap and in the wide 600 mil package that the Zip
sockets require.
For 15MHz operation, even faster SRAMs may be required.
Unfortunately, they are mostly available only in the skinny
300 mil packages. To use them, half sockets must be soldered
into the Zip. They are also more expensive.
Also consider that the performance advantage going from 10MHz
to 15MHz is far less dramatic than from 7MHz to 10MHz. Factor
in the risk of seriously damaging the Zip during soldering.
Conclusion: the 10MHz operation is safer, requires no permanent
modification of the Zip, and the chips of the right
size are available and costs a lot less.)
